A couple of bugs / feature requests

Post by kfury77 »

1. With the automatic spellcheck option turned on in preferences - If you comment out some code (with the <-- code), then many valid tags e.g. "JavaScript", "CDATA", are underlined in red (i.e. showing as spelling mistakes). I think it'd be better if commented out text was not automatically spellchecked, or that all the tags were in the dictionary by default and would therefore not show as spelling mistakes.

2. I've started to do a lot of coding in XML/XLST and am disappointed that there isn't a preview option in HTMLPad Pro for XML. Could you add this please - otherwise I have to keep saving the file and refreshing an Internet Explorer window running the local code.

(As a side issue, I know that XML support is not one of HTMLPads strengths, but I'd love to see a new product (possibly a version up from Webuilder) that had many of the features of XMLSpy Home Edition
(see http://www.altova.com/matrix_x.html). I would happily pay $60 for such software in an instant; and I'm sure there are many other people that would like to see such a code editor.

3. There's a typo in the preferences under the "spelling" option, it reads "automatical spell check", I think that should either be "automatically" or "automatic".

4. I've installed version 6.1 but the dialog box when installing said that I installing version 6.0.

1. Is this so important? Somebody once asked specificaly to spell check comments, so it was made this way.

2. I believe it would be no problem to support IE XML preview. I'll add this to the ToDo list and hopefully if no problems arise, this will be available in one of the next updates. And ... I'll take a look at the XMLSpy as time permits.

3. Will be fixed. Thanks for taking time to point this out!

4. Yes, setup usually uses the major version number only. Probably it is a good idea to include the second number (in this case .1) as well, thanks for suggesting this.

can you make the control arrow keys instead of just jumping to the next space, to stop at punctuation as well

also depending on whether you are controlling forward or backwards, the cursor should end up either before or after the space instead of always after the space

Please can you re-write this in the feature suggestions forum and explain in deeper detail. I would appreciate it as this feature really needs to be enhanced.
